Counterinsurgency Finale

We thank Paul Staniland for guest-blogging and for many interesting posts on counter-insurgency. He wrote so much and so well that I asked him to put his contributions together in a pdf file with embedded links. You can find it here. Paul’s posts addressed these topics:

• How do counterinsurgencies end?

• Becoming an insurgent

• Afghanistan, the Taliban, and foreigners

• Collaborating and defecting

• Should we care about failed and weak states?

• Academics and counterinsurgents

Thanks again to Paul.
